While a new Envision is on its way in a bit over a year, it looks like Buick is not ready to give us a new Encore GX. The 2 new spy photos above show a prototype of a revised Buick Encore GX for the 2027 model year. And obviously doesn’t show a new vehicle.… Continue reading 2027 Buick Encore GX Spied: Is GM Stretching an Aging SUV Too Far?

It’s becoming increasingly obvious that every new EV from Toyota is getting a Subaru counterpart. And that’s the most cost-effective way for Subaru to rapidly build out an electric lineup. Subaru has just released a teaser for an all-new larger 3 row electric SUV. And it already looks a lot like the new Toyota Highlander… Continue reading The 2027 Subaru Ascent Could Be a Game-Changer. And It’s Borrowing From Toyota Again

It might sound surprising, but the original Honda CR-V is now over 30 years old. First introduced in Japan back in October 1995, the CR-V helped define the modern compact SUV segment. Fast forward to today, and the current sixth-generation model, launched in September 2022, is roughly 10 inches longer than that original version, offering… Continue reading 2028 Honda CR-V Is Coming. But Don’t Expect a Revolution

Honda revised their large platform a few years ago, and gave us the Acura MDX/Honda Pilot and, more recently, the new Honda Passport. And yet, the Ridgeline pickup wasn’t invited to the party. Now we hear about a new large platform for 2027 that includes a new V6 Hybrid powertrain. Something is planned for the next-generation Acura MDX… Continue reading The Next-Gen Honda Ridgeline Could Be Honda’s Biggest Surprise Yet

It seems that every day brings new renders of the upcoming Nissan Rogue. As illustrators around the world are hard at work guessing what the next generation will look like.

But Not the Way You Think. (more illustrations from around the world)

The new illustration above suggests the next-generation Kia Sorento could end up looking like a smaller version of the 2027 Kia Telluride. Which feels pretty predictable given Kia’s latest design direction. The new Kia Telluride is already a success, earning strong reviews and plenty of attention. So applying the same bold styling to a smaller… Continue reading Why the 2027 Kia Sorento might look too much like the new Telluride.

Mercedes has released a few photos of a camouflaged prototype of its upcoming electric C-Class sedan. And it already looks very similar to the new CLA, inside and out. The main difference, of course, will be the addition of that large new Mercedes grille. You know the one—it’s meant to instantly signal prestige and make… Continue reading Mercedes’ new C-Class EV already has a big problem.

The current Ram 1500 pickup came out over eight years ago. Not that it matters that much since the evolution of pickup truck designs is usually very, very slow. Full-size trucks tend to stay on the market for long cycles because buyers prefer familiarity and proven capability. But Stellantis is indeed hard at work on… Continue reading Next-generation Ram 1500 promises a futuristic look. But I’m not convinced.

Nissan may have just introduced a “new” Rogue Hybrid for 2026, but that model isn’t really new at all. It’s basically a rebadged Mitsubishi Outlander with a few Nissan touches. The real story is the next-generation Rogue coming for the 2027 model year. And that one will actually matter. The upcoming Nissan Rogue, called the… Continue reading 2027 Nissan Rogue: First Look at the All-New SUV Nissan Is Preparing

Well, almost. The only model available this spring will be the most expensive Rivian R2 Performance trim. Which is what usually happens with new EV launches. That base $45,000 Rivian R2 is not available yet. We will have to wait until the end of next year for it. It will actually cost $46,500 and come with a smaller battery rated… Continue reading The 2027 Rivian R2 is here.

Volkswagen is already planning a major redesign for the next-generation Volkswagen ID.4, even though the 2025 model just received updates in the U.S. The new version, expected for the 2027 model year, will reportedly feature a completely redesigned exterior, a new interior, and the return of physical controls. According to Volkswagen leadership, the upcoming ID.4 will be a… Continue reading Next-generation VW ID.4 coming in 2027.

The popular Hyundai Tucson is due for a new generation very soon as a 2027 model. Today, we have new illustrations that could give us a look at the next design direction for the popular Hyundai USV. The images above show what we have seen from the many spy shots previously published. A much more… Continue reading Next-generation 2027 Hyundai Tucson.

The new luxury VLE minivan from Mercedes will soon be sold in the United States, and it may end up being the only vehicle of its kind in the market. That raises an interesting question: why shouldn’t American luxury brands try something similar? Both Lincoln and Cadillac should be capable of developing a minivan that is just as luxurious. And… Continue reading Should Lincoln compete against the Mercedes VLE?

Yes, a Mercedes Minivan. This is not your average Mercedes Metris passenger van. This is a luxury car in the shape of a minivan. Something that is currently very popular in China. I guess it makes sense for Mercedes to be part of that trend. The upcoming Mercedes VLE is essentially a high-end luxury vehicle in the… Continue reading Discover the all-new Mercedes VLE Minivan.

We’ve been seeing spy shots of the next-generation Range Rover Velar for over a year now. Early prototypes of the new Velar were buried under the usual extremely heavy camouflage. Thick cladding, fake body panels, and confusing lighting signatures did an excellent job of hiding what the engineers were actually testing. But recently, something has changed. The… Continue reading 2027 Range Rover Velar redesign.
